I'm sure Mev will swap you. ( I think it was Mev that considered selling his for your daytona, could be wrong)
If it was the same spec as mine I would. But I doubt it is, so many little touches on the car which all add up

Yeah they do, but just not as good as the LED's. It's the black optic's that turn these cars into willy weepers

Yup, that's a Spyker C8. YOu don't see many of those around. You can see the windscreen, just about. What, did you think the rear view mirror was just floating there? ;)

Not bad looking cars. Like the love child of a DB7 and a TVR Tuscan.

Well maybe one day eh? :bigblink: I have to say that my B7 Daytona was a lovely colour though. Never got bored of that. Ive got some bits and bobs to do on mine first cosmetically like these lights and the leather sorted etc but they do say "once you go black you never go back !" Although mines is a bit muddy at the mo and Id suggest it is a basteward to keep clean in winter!!! :( Right off for new tyres tomorrow Im just about down to the wire!!!

Right, betwween shat weather and clients bothering me I managed to finish the lights. Had to modify the shroud on the other light to in order for it to fit perfectly and had to be a bit creative with where to attach the LED step down transformers or whatever they are but done:

No way that car fits in that garage.

Looks good, Mr Longchav.

The thingies would be power resistors, probably. So prevent the DIS having kittens.

Nope, not a hope in hell as that is my gym!! That reminds me, apologies for the grotty looking house but I share it with the person that doubles as the landlord and my best friend. Sadly as great a guy as he is, he has absolutely no pride an anything whatsoever really so I get to enjoy living in something that resembles a rotten turd :(. It's the usual thing of I could just fix it up but why should I when it isn't mine?

I think your looks great with the chromed tailpipes. I wouldn't bother changing them.

Somebody just sent me a PM with info/advice about the Decane rears and I have to say that I agree with him 100%. They appear to now all come with LED indicators and the very first thing I noticed was that they weren't awfully bright at all in daylight. I think the brake lights will be ok, esspecially with thee top one there too but worth noting... In the darkness they are very bright so no worries there at least.

Yah, going to stick with them but if I can get the black ends cheap enough I might grab them for the hell of it too :)
